Where do I start?! The room was Beautifully decorated, very artsy and much attention to detail. We appreciated all the toiletries and when we notified our host of anything we needed they responded QUICKLY and very kindly. The location was perfect to navigate the subway, grocery stores, restaurants and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. I don’t know what could’ve made our trip better. Thank you!!

Absolutely beautiful guesthouse with fantastic interior, located in a cozy and quiet street, still with easy access to the trains. Our room was beautiful, super clean, with a spacious bathroom. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Truly a unique place, we enjoyed our stay a lot. And hot chocolate in the room was amazing

The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great

The room was very well decorated and clean, there was a nespresso machine and a brita in the fridge. There was also a paper on the door with a map and recommended some places to go, which was very sweet

The bed was too soft for me. The airconditioning too loud for the night, but more than welcome. Apart from the glasses, cups and knives, 2 plates would have been convenient.

An interesting room that offers more than the standard hotel. The neighborhood was pleasant and authentic. We loved getting back to it after a day in Manhattan. People were all friendly here.

Really tiny things like WhatsApp response, checkin and other minor things may make the stay even better.

The guest house is cozy, comfy and stylish. In the house you can notice much culture and is beautifully decorated. It is located in a nice part of Harlem where it's easy to walk around and enjoy local amenities. Central Park is also near. The host is polite and responsive. Truly worth the price. I appreciated the cold water, tea, coffee and chocolate selection.

A bit off central stuff in NYC, however it was easy for go downtown with metro Express line 2 and 3.

Spacious and clean. Helpful host.

There are some areas in harlen that don't look so safe, but from the metro to the property is a 5 minutes walk through a main avenue and then the nice neighborhood - we didn't have any problems.

The pretiest place we've been in New York. We were received by Karen who was super friendly and gave us tips for our trip. The internet was good and everything was really clean and well maintained.

The bathroom was a bit dark and smaller than we prefer, but it did the job.

This place has a lot of charisma and is packed full of art and creative expression. The owner calls it West African maximalism, sort of Harlem Baroque - bold, dark colors, historic ornate brownstone features, paired with bold art, antiques, and artifacts, and about a zillion happy plants. Our room was huge and included a king bed, velvet sofa, a fireplace, a big turquoise table, and bay windows. It's close to restaurants and the subway, and it was easy to get around.

Liked it altogether - a waste bin in the bedroom (for used teabags, etc.) might have been helpful - but all was good

Fantastic house with wooden interior, art and plants adding character to every corner. Genial host. A place of real character.

Beautiful room and great hostess. The room and the bathroom were spotless which I greatly appreciate. The hostess was accommodating and very polite. Would definitely recommend!

The shower had low water pressure, which is the only critique I can think of!

This is a great boutique guest house in a beautiful and historic neighborhood in Harlem that is full of culture, art and restaurants. Getting around the city from here is easy due to quick access to express 2+3 trains. The host is interesting, generous and kind. The room was huge, had everything necessary (and more), and was beautifully decorated. The property is truly unique and a labor of love - this is exactly the type of small business I want to support when traveling.

I liked everything.

The room was so incredibly spacious and super quirky & colourful without threatening comfort. Every single thing Soul Food could of thought of they did, robes, tea, kettle, microwave, fridge, body wash, towels for body and hair, coffee, lighting, power points. It was so impressive! It made a very stressful trip calm when I needed. Local Eatery options are iconic and flavourful. I felt completely safe in the area, with a lovely community feel rich in history and splendour. Definitely go to Grandma's Place (book shop) a few buildings down, the owners are marvellous humans.

Nothing - it was perfect.

Loved everything about this beautiful guesthouse - absolutely stunning design and decor, nice and warm the whole time despite the minus figure temps outside, all the small touches were really appreciated too. Location is fantastic and I would recommend staying in Harlem to anybody considering it, it was very easy to get downtown but equally lots of great things nearby like Marcus Garvey Park, great soul food and a range of top quality coffee places. The owner was very welcoming and kind, thank you for a lovely stay 🙂

We had a lovely stay at Soul Food. Our room was very spacious, warm, comfortable and clean. We loved the beautiful art and enjoyed the super comfy big bed after spending our days walking around NYC! The property was really conveniently located and had lots of lovely eateries close by.

Nothing suited us perfectly The only sad thing was we didn't meet the owner but did speak on the phone.

Loved the historic district and the house was lovely it appealed because the decor is very kooky which we liked. We were sad to leave and would definitely go back again
